071. Trey Taylor: Tragic Loss to Instant CEO

In 2005, Trey faced a sudden and profound loss when his father passed away at the young age of 52, a loss we now understand was due to COVID. This emotional period was compounded by the immediate need for Trey to step into the role of CEO for the family business, a daunting task made even more challenging by the absence of any guidance from his father. This transition marked one of the most significant challenges Trey has ever encountered in his life.
